Neil deGrasse Tyson dismisses Musk's Mars dreams. Musk and techbros butthurt [View all]
Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson said he doesn’t think Elon Musk’s vision for space travel to Mars is realistic during a Friday night episode of HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher“.
“I don’t see it happening until governments judge that it’s geopolitically in our interest,” he said in conversation with Donna Brazile and Andrew Young.
“But I believe President-elect Trump has some interest in Mars, so you might have another conversation in a couple of months,” the scientist added. “At some point, somebody has to pay for it, and just being interested in something is not the same thing as paying for it.”
Musk fired back suggesting that a trip to Mars would not just help respective countries but could solve age old problems for humanity.
